This book is kind of well written and has interesting characters but I found most of them to be very unlikeable. It's kind of dark and full of intrigue and political machinations but it takes a while to pick up the pace and get into the story/plot. Also, the enemies-to-lovers story is clunky, sudden, and toxic. 

I really wanted to like it but it's just not my cup of tea.
